ABOUT C J Wright

C J Wright
I have had a fascination with all sorts of horror fiction since childhood, and it has been the driving force of my desire to write.  After meeting Sue Townsend, the author of the Adrian Mole books, at the age of eight, I longed to be a writer. I write horror novels for both adults and More...

Description

Edgewich, England - 1873. After the body of a young girl is found in the woods near her home, and with the majority of the search party sent to find her now missings, the Mayor of the small town sends for a 'Vampire Hunter'.

This was the first full length novel I sat down and wrote. It took 18 months to get the first draft finished, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The plot began from the creation of two characters, the vampire, Lucinda, and the Vampire Hunter, Victor Drake.

 

I just finished reading The Ritual of Blood by C J Wright. I enjoyed the book, and I'm not a great fan of vampire stories.
I was entertained by the vampire lore: the Vampire Hunters, some of the
rules of vampire conduct, the Skulls of Darkness, Power, and Blood, the
Feast of Dran Val Karlic, and the vampire history. Wright is imaginative and gives us a lot of detail.
Wright didn¹t get into specific gory details of blood and violence, and sex, instead he left many scenes to the reader¹s imagination, which I
appreciated.
As the book progressed, Wright actually got me liking some of the nasty, evil vampires; they were believable. I even found myself rooting for one of them, in the end. A good read.
